Cumberland County College receives national public relations award

VINELAND -- Cumberland County College was awarded a first-place Gold Paragon Award last month for "Best Media Success Story" issued by the National Council for Marketing and Public Relations.

The organization, an affiliate of the American Association of Community Colleges, presented CCC with the award at the NCMPR annual conference in Kansas City Missouri, for their success in highlighting a $1 million donation to the college and opening of its Paul Navone Healthcare Education Center.

Navone, a county resident, was featured in newspapers and magazines throughout the country for his contribution to the college.

CCC President Ken Ender lauded CCC's public relations staff for submitting what he described as an "outstanding, award-winning entry" to the NCMPR competition.
